Then you'll use the mark at the top to position the rail before you attach it to the brackets (Photo 7, close-up).ince the rail runs parallel to the stairs, you can use the stair noses as a guide for cutting the rail to the right length and figuring the top angle (Photos 3 – 5).

Apply the adhesive to the step, rather than the tread, to minimize the squeeze-out onto the rounded edge. Install the tread, clean off any adhesive that squeezed out, and then nail it in place with 8d flooring nails. Drive two nails into each stringer.
